system - Is Google's Golang an interpreter or compiler?

Question

I have been researching Golang and I see that it has a compiler. But is it compiling Go into assembly level code or just converting it into BYTECODES and then calling that compilation? I mean, even in PHP we are able to convert it into BYTECODES and have faster performance. Is Golang a REPLACEMENT for system level programming and compiling ?
